Marissa responds to several calls reported as rattlesnakes or even a Gila monster, only to find something else entirely. When people are unfamiliar with Arizona’s wildlife, quick judgments happen—especially in stressful moments. We never blame anyone for calling it in. When it comes to potentially dangerous animals, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Sometimes the calls really are rattlesnakes. Sometimes they aren’t. Either way, education and coexistence are always the goal.
